If Pastrnak’s contract was expiring this summer, he would get way more now.

Sweeney was the head of player development which I think included all the scouting staff.
But yeah, Pasta was viewed as undersized, slightly soft and had injury concerns. He was like 5'10 163 lbs when drafted. Kid definitely put in good work to get to 6'1 200lbs. Not that the height was work but putting on 40lbs and keeping your speed is.

I'm just really happy to see Pasta get the attention he deserves. Kid is a total stud and still only 21. One of the best young wingers in the game no doubt.

Definitely. And not just a passenger on that line, like so many Leafs fans were saying.

That's a great point because there was definitely a time where people felt he'd have the offensive game but be too small to muck it up in the corners and play a complete two-way game. He's such a different player than he was even two years ago, it's 100% his own hard work dedicating himself to adding the size he needed to play on both ends of the ice. Now instead of being a defensive liability he's a legit defensive contributor to the best two-way line in hockey.

It was nice to see Pasta reclaim the 'through the legs' move from Forsberg. He's been pulling that move all year.

Forsberg pulls that move more than anyone I've ever seen. Pasta mixes it in every once in a while though.

So uh... He's grown three inches after 18? That sounds strange and pretty unbelievable.

Ah, my bad. I don't catch many Predators games so I wouldn't know - thought he'd pinched it from ol' Pasta.
Your statement doesn’t relate to the tweet or it’s statistics of 89%.
Cassidy’s team won the first two games in Tampa, then got swept.
"he is an undersized winger standing 6'0" tall and weighing in at 168 pounds"
Sorry, shoot me. Growing 3 in after 18 isn't totally crazy though. My friends brother went from like 6'1 to 6'5 from age 17-21.

Oh, okay, makes more sense now.
17 is still a growing year for most, but I'd wager most people, guys included, grow very little if any past 18-19. Except for folk suffering from acromegaly who just keep growing and growing until one day, they trip over something, fall down and die.
And (maybe) guys who undergo the HGH therapy.

He’s always been clumsily creative. Below the dots, he’s tried everything once. When he tries that between the legs crap near the blue line is where Bs fans lose their minds.
Ummmmmmm, males in general are typically not done growing and filling out until 21. There's your physiology lesson for the day.
females 're done by 15-17 in case you were wondering.
It's like his feet can't keep up with his brain sometimes. That's when he looks like a baby giraffe. LOL

Filling out is something else. But growing?? I personally don't know anyone who gained an inch past 18-19. Meanwhile I've known many people, girls especially, who stopped growing (gaining height) around 12, 13, 14 (mainly the taller ones).
Again, growing up, I've heard that some guys keep growing till about 25... That, from experience, is an urban legend. (Although I've read that growth plates don't close until the age of 24.)
Meanwhile this sounds fairly reasonable:
When do boys stop growing: Height, genitals, and what to expect
The cases of boys growing beyond the usual age have more to do with a later onset of the puberty rather than 21 being a normal age to still be growing at.

Biggest steal of 2014 imo.
Would imo go 1st overall in a redraft.
Also, likely on one of the best contracts in the league along with Chef.

Better yet Heinen went from 5'5" to 6'1 in a year after he was drafted. He was basically on no ones horizon playing in the BCHL.
Pasta is on a great contact but that whole line is signed till 2020 for under 20 million, let that sink in

Yet all those attempts lead to him perfecting it, gotta try and learn and adapt. That is what is great about Cassidy he lets them have a bit more leash then Julien who would just bench young guys.
